Reply To: San G – trail finding & conditions

[Ranger Bill]

Conditions change daily. It is too early to give you accurate information.

Being a popular destination, people will go there as soon as the snow stops and go as far as they can and then some. Therefore, the trail will be beaten in to a degree. However, there are points where it is safer to climb, than to continue on the trail. That is, if you have the basic snow skills, the right gear and land navigation skills.

If you do not have an accurate report on conditions, it is best to carry all manner of protective gear.
